Lyrics of Sweet Dreams (Of You) by Patsy Cline
verse
Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can′t I forget you and start my life anew?
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me its plain
I should know I′ll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
